...
On the martial arts field, Su Ji was losing ground. From the beginning, there was no chance of winning the competition.
Cao Ling shook his fists and said, "It's time to end!"
Cao Ling no longer had the patience to continue playing with Su Ji.
The true energy poured out, like a mountain collapsing, pressing on Su Ji. Waves of storm surged out from Cao Ling's fists, trying to swallow up Su Ji.
The flames rose out of the air, and the blue flames burned into roaring tigers, and then rushed towards Su Ji from all directions.
Seeing this scene, the Su Cheng army generals also felt countless sorrows in their hearts. This was an outcome that had been expected, but seeing their coach lose like this made everyone unhappy.
Roar!
The tiger threw Su Ji to the ground. The powerful force made Su Ji unable to resist, and he could only bite the transformed tiger.
One head, two heads... These tigers seem to be very hungry, and they will feast when they see food in front of them.
Su Ji seemed to accept his fate, enduring the pain in his body while slowly accumulating strength in his body.
Cao Ling looked indifferent and said: "Lower your head and admit defeat!"
Cao Ling's voice was like an order, with irresistible momentum. But Su Ji remained silent, and now there was no difference between admitting defeat and being timid.
Pieces of armor were torn apart, flying to the martial arts arena with blood and falling to the ground.
Under the siege of the tigers, Su Ji was already covered with wounds. If it continued, it would not be impossible for him to die on the martial arts field.
Cao Ling didn't want to kill anyone, so he just taught him a lesson and humiliated Su Ji. But he didn't expect that Su Ji would be so tough and would rather die than surrender.
After a few more breaths, Cao Ling looked at Su Ji with firm eyes, showing some approval.
As a soldier, he has been able to persevere until now. This strength and iron-bloodedness have been recognized by Cao Ling.
But the biting continued, and recognition was recognition. Cao Ling's goal today had not yet been achieved.
It's a pity that you lost such a good young talent. Who made you Yu Zhi's person?
At this moment, someone among the Su Cheng Army soldiers shouted: "Commander, this competition is unfair!"
"Yes. It's not fair. Our Suzhou Army is weak, but we are not at the mercy of others."
"A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated! Does the commander look down on our Su Cheng Army by humiliating Commander Su like this?"
For a moment, all the officers and soldiers of the Su City Army stood up to speak for Su Ji. Perhaps they couldn't stand Cao Ling's behavior, or perhaps they were moved by Su Ji's courage of preferring death to surrender.
The public sentiment was aroused, and the soldiers of Su Cheng's army were complaining about Su Ji.
The so-called discussion is not humiliation.
Men in the military are straightforward by nature, and they value a man's dignity more than his life.
Slapping Su Ji in the face also slapped their Su Chengjun in the face.
Cao Ling frowned. He did not expect that the soldiers of Su Chengjun would stand up and speak for Su Ji.
His original intention was to humiliate, but it was Su Ji who was humiliated and took the opportunity to slap Yu Zhi in the face.
Yu Zhi did not expect the scene in front of him. He looked at Su Ji who was covered in blood and knew that he had chosen the right person. I originally thought that Su Ji would gain authority in the army and win the morale of the army.
Now it seems that Cao Ling has contributed to a good thing.
Cao Ling shouted angrily: "Are you questioning my commander?"
After all, Cao Ling has the identity of the commander of Nanzhou's troops and horses. After his words fell, the voices of the officers and soldiers of the Su City Army became a little weaker.
But some people still said: "The commander has already won this competition. Su Shuai has no power to resist, why doesn't the commander accept the move?"
"Hmph." Cao Ling snorted coldly and said, "The competition is not over yet before the opponent admits defeat!"
"But if the competition continues, Su Shuai will die in your hands." Someone shouted.
"As long as he admits defeat, the competition will end naturally!" Cao Ling said matter-of-factly.
At this moment, Su Ji suddenly jumped into the air, and his true energy exploded, driving away the surrounding tigers. Blood dripped in the air and fell to the ground like raindrops of blood.
Su Ji roared like a beast, "I haven't given up yet! Keep going!"
Su Ji struggled to support his body, his armor was broken, and the blood marks on his body and face were clearly visible like ravines.
Su Ji is like an old tree that has been burned by fire and will fall down at any time.
Cao Ling was also shocked by Su Ji's voice. He looked at Su Ji and said, "It's just a competition. It's shameful to admit defeat."
Su Ji smiled, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "I am not Commander Cao's opponent, but if Commander Cao wants to use this to humiliate Su Chengjun and Lord Yu, I can't admit defeat. Kneel down and die and stand." Even if we die, we will all die. But we cannot let outsiders underestimate us, the Su City Army."
Every word Su Ji said came to everyone's ears very clearly.
It is already known to everyone that the former head coach of the Su City Army, You Yuanju, had an affair with bandits and caused harm to the people of Su City.
The people of Su City all pointed at Su Chengjun and scolded him. It was only recently that he helped people rebuild their homes that Su Chengjun's reputation gradually became better. But it was always humiliating.
The Suzhou Army, which once cowered in the military camp and did not dare to suppress the bandits, also had to prove itself.
In an instant, the emotions of the Su Chengjun soldiers were high, and they just stared at the figure that could fall down at any time in the martial arts field.
"If you don't fight, you won't be defeated. If you fight, you will win!"
Su Ji raised his arms and shouted. At this moment, he no longer had any energy or strength, but he rushed towards Cao Ling with his tenacious will.
He could lose, but Su Chengjun couldn't lose, and Yu Zhi couldn't lose. He used this defeat to boost the morale of the army.
worth!
Cao Ling looked at Su Ji, who was slowly rushing over step by step, with a bit of emotion and a bit of sneer.
The officers and soldiers of Su Cheng Army also raised their arms and shouted: "If we fight, we will win!"
At this moment, the generals of the Su City Army followed Su Ji's will and ignited their passion as soldiers in their hearts.
Cao Ling took a step back and clenched his fist to gather strength. Since you are seeking death, I don’t have to hold back. This punch will destroy you!
Cao Ling will not let Su Ji go because he loves and cherishes his talents. There are many people like Su Ji, and there is no shortage of Su Ji. The important thing is that Su Ji is not his subordinate, Cao Ling.
If it is not used by me, it will only lead to death.
Cao Ling's cold gaze crossed Su Ji's figure and landed on Yu Zhi in the distance.
The young man still stood there with calm eyes and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
Just when Cao Ling punched out, a shooting star appeared in Cao Ling's eyes, and the next moment Yu Zhi's figure blocked Cao Ling's face.
The sandbag-sized fist was wrapped with true energy, but the true energy could not be blasted out. A blue flame surrounded it, burning Cao Ling's fist.
Yu Zhi raised his hand and was shocked. The sudden strong force made Cao Ling subconsciously withdraw his fist.
Yu Zhi would not sit back and do nothing. Su Ji came forward to save Yu Zhi's face, so that Yu Zhi would be less criticized, and to let the Dachu officialdom know that although Su Ji was weak, he still had his backbone.
Yu Zhi felt that if Su Ji became crippled, it would be his fault.
Yu Zhi supported Su Ji's body and said, "That's enough. Today's competition ends here."
Su Ji's current injuries alone were enough to keep Su Ji in bed for several months.
Cao Ling looked at Yu Zhi and said reluctantly: "He hasn't given up yet."
Yu Zhi's eyes shone with cold light and said: "If you want to fight, I will fight with you. How strong is the commander of Nanzhou's troops and horses, and whether he is worthy of the status of commander."
Cao Ling also stared at Yu Zhi and suddenly chuckled. Naturally, he doesn't mind that Yu Zhi ends up personally.
Cao Ling was careless that night in the mountain city, otherwise Yu Zhi would have died in that mountain city.
Now, Cao Ling still despises Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi handed Su Ji over to the soldiers of the Su City Army, but heard Su Ji say: "Sir, Cao Ling is a strong man who opened the eighth level of the monument. You..."
Su Ji knew that Yu Zhi was powerful, but he didn't think that Yu Zhi could defeat Cao Ling, who had been famous for a long time. Everyone knows Cao Ling's reputation in Nanzhou Prefecture.
Being able to become the commander of Nanzhou's troops was not only because of Xiang Ji's appreciation, but also because of his own strength.
Yu Zhi smiled faintly and signaled Su Ji not to speak.
"It's just the eighth level of the Open Monument, it's not like I haven't killed anyone before!"
Su Ji and the surrounding Su Cheng Army officers and soldiers were all shocked.
That was a strong man of the eighth level of the Open Monument. How could he just kill him at the drop of a hat?
Everyone looked at Yu Zhi blankly, wondering what experiences this young Lord Yu had had before.
Yu Zhi walked onto the martial arts field again, holding a sword in his hand. This battle was inevitable, just to vent his anger for Su Ji.
People are knocking on the door and there is no way to escape, so the only option is to fight.
Yu Zhi's whole body was ignited with green flames, and the dark broken armor appeared on his body, exuding a mysterious aura. In an instant, Yu Zhi's aura continued to rise, approaching Cao Ling.
"Come on, don't you just want to cause trouble for me? There's no need to be so secretive." Yu Zhi said.
Cao Ling raised his hand to summon a spear. The spear was not worth mentioning in front of his burly figure. The moment he held the spear, Cao Ling showed his true strength.
The momentum of the powerful man who opened the eighth level of the monument was like a big mountain pressing on everyone's hearts, making people breathless.
The strong sense of suffocation made everyone feel that an invisible big hand was holding their throat, and the burly figure was an insurmountable mountain.
Powerful and terrifying!
This is the real power of the Eighth Grade Kaibei.
Su Ji lamented in his heart. The battle just now did not allow Cao Ling to show even 50% of his strength. Su Ji knew in his heart that it was just a small thing that shook the tree, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was burning, and he firmly believed that sooner or later he would reach such a state.
The young man in the martial arts field did not have this kind of momentum, but he was not afraid at all.
Yu Zhi was dissatisfied, his figure flew like a shooting star, a bright light flashed across the sky, and the green flames left afterimages like the tails of comets.
"Wind and thunder!"
Wind, snow and thunder intertwined and fell from the sky. Thousands of sword lights surrounded them into a storm, covering the two figures.
After practicing thousands of times, one sword to summon wind and snow and one sword to draw thunder were perfectly integrated in Yu Zhi's hands.
"Yes, my swordsmanship is much better than last time." Cao Ling commented. When he was in the mountain city, Cao Ling was also so talkative.
Yu Zhi said two words indifferently - noisy.
In a protracted battle, Yu Zhi would not be Cao Ling's opponent, and this time Cao Ling was more cautious. In this battle, Cao Ling must trample Yu Zhi under his feet and destroy Yu Zhi's prestige.
In the nearly two months since Yu Zhi went south, Su City was turned upside down.
The banditry incident sent You Yuanju to prison.
The case of missing children shocked the government and the public, and the Fan family in Suzhou City had long been implicated. Fan Xiuming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, left Beijing.
The two sensational events made everyone in Nanzhou Prefecture feel in danger, fearing that the censor would find out something and their lives would be in danger.
The red-shirted woman asked Cao Ling to come and destroy Yu Zhi's majesty, and she also came to tell the officials of Nanzhou Prefecture - don't panic, the King of Chu still has the final say in Nanzhou!
Cao Ling was the envoy of King Xiang Ji of Chu and was also a pawn of Xiang Ji.
It was naturally his responsibility to charge into battle.
But pawns are often the most likely to die in front!
